I don't really understand the "launching nukes" part of the game. Supposedly it's part of the main story and I'll eventually get there, but not there yet.

we launch nukes to farm repair kits and flux u know?

i assume the problem is his low lvl so he waits for someone else to do it cannot solo for now.

Here's a tip for the newbies and lowbies who are scared to attend the "big" events (like SBQ): Don't worry about damaging the Big Boss Lady. As long as she's in your line of sight when she dies, you should get the loot (it was something they changed a few patches back).

This is what you do (or at least it's what I do): Fast travel to the event (or walk if you think you're fast enough), spend the event killing all the little stuff that spawns. I focus on the ones that are attacking the heavy hitters (and by heavy hitters, I mean the higher level guys (and gals) in PA with the really big guns). The smaller stuff that spawns can stagger the heavy hitters and make them less effective overall.

In my experience (which is probably more vast than I care to admit), they're grateful for the assist. If they don't have to focus on the little stuff, they can be focusing on Big Boss Lady.

The trade-off is you got to join an event, you helped out how you could, and you got a bunch of loot to take home and brag about. It's win-win, really.

Pretty sure it has something to do with those zombies that have those self-destructing letter+number quest items...

But I don't understand how I'd launch a nuke.

And, fluff wise, don't understand why anyone in the fallout setting (super mutants aside) would launch nukes...isn't that the whole point of every other fallout game: complaining about the desolation that nuclear weapons cause?

It's less "dropping nukes is part of the story" and more "dropping nukes is a game mechanic", I think. Like SBQ and Earle won't spawn unless you drop a nuke on their head first. So it's necessary in terms of gameplay, despite it not really making much sense storywise.

Doesn't that feel dirty?

Thanks, good advice. I just started a few days ago so I think I need to spend time running everywhere to get fast travel nodes? And I've read it's free travel back to the vault or to our own camp(s)? So I should stick/move one to the opposite side of the map from where I have been...

edit: oh, I see if an event gets posted it will try to let you fast travel if you hit join. I am, of course, overencumbered right now, lol.

I'd love to drop nukes but the GD game tends to crash or hang or otherwise bug out right when I'm in or coming up to the final room. I've successfully launched twice in about eight attempts.

It doesn't make sense even when you get there. It's probably one of the stupidest thing in this game.

But then all things point to FO76 being a simulation and not real. So there's that.

A lot of the newbies are getting there. At least on Xbox I'm seeing more and more participation in public events. Sometimes they jump the gun and start them solo and aren't capable of doing them solo so I join with them close to failing, but they're getting there.

I'm not seeing many nukes, either. I server hopped a bit last night and found one nuke zone on one server out of a couple dozen, and it was at the southeast corner as usual where I don't get cobalt flux.

I don't bother launching them if there are low level or two teams. I now shop for keyy cards. I usually go into a base to do robot kills for atoms.

Last 2 weeks i see constantly nuked areas no matter what server i'm on. Even the most strange places are nuked last few weeks.
